Manchester United vs Newcastle United

And that's it: the whistle goes, and Manchester United have beaten Newcastle 5-3 in a superb game at Old Trafford

In comes a cross, looking for Shearer - Barthez takes command

Giggs tries a late effort: it's low and skimming and easy for Given

It comes to nothing - seconds remaining, and it looks as though we'll have to settle for just the eight goals

Giggs, with some typical trickery, gets into the area and wins a corner...

Three minutes of added time will be played, and United are on the ball once again

And the home side just keeping possession as we move towards stoppage time

A late scramble - O'Shea boots clear and Solskjaer will lead the break...

Time rapidly running out in what has been an absorbing game. If there's anything better in the Premiership today, it will have to be very, very good indeed

Shearer wins another header, and United have to concede a throw from that... then the offside flag goes up against Bellamy and United have the free-kick

Veron lifts it towards Solskjaer, who is penalised for a foul

Richardson on the break down the United left - he wins a free-kick midway inside Newcastle territory...

Shearer heads on and Jenas gets there - but steers his own header over the top. Flutters in the United defence

Dyer finds Bellamy with a clever pass into the left-hand side of the area, but the angle is narrow and there's not enough power in the shot to trouble Barthez

Jenas tries a long-range blast - it's too close to Barthez, who saves pretty comfortably in the end

Newcastle have the ball on half way - can they get the goal that would make these final stages incredibly tense?

Diego Forlan, who has had a bright and zippy game today, goes off to make way for Juan Veron

Solskjaer finds himself some space on the right and crosses low, but there's nobody there to take advantage

The visitors in possession with Bellamy - he looks for Dyer but the offside flag goes up

Corner - Forlan plays it in, O'Shea heads and Griffin clears off the line

Scholes plays Giggs into the area, and Given is brave to dive at his feet and flick the ball away from danger

Shearer tumbles in the area under challenge from O'Shea. No penalty, says the referee, but the appeals were pretty half-hearted

What a game - and there are still 15 minutes or so to go

...from the corner, Shearer wins a header and Bellamy flicks it into the net. It's 5-3, and bordering on the ludicrous!

Dyer tries a pass towards Bellamy, but it's just overhit and the Welshman can't get there... then he hits a long-ranger which Barthez tips over...
